Never leave a vehicle unsupervised with the engine running. If
you have to leave your vehicle with the engine running, apply the
parking brake and put the gearbox into neutral or position N or P,
depending on the type of gearbox.
Observe the driving regulations at all times and remain vigilant whatever
the
traffic
conditions.
Pay
close
attention
to
the
traffic
and
keep
your
hands
on
the
wheel
so
that you are ready to react at any time to any eventuality
.
On a long journey, a break every two hours is strongly recommended.

difficult
weather,
drive
smoothly,
anticipate

brake
and
increase the distance from other vehicles.

If you are obliged to drive through water: We strongly advise against driving on flooded roads, as this could
cause serious damage to the engine or gearbox, as well as to the
electrical systems of your vehicle.IMPORTANT!
Never drive with the parking brake applied - Risk of overheating
and damage to the braking system!
Do not park or run the engine when stationary in areas where
inflammable
substances and materials (dry grass, dead leaves...)
might
come into contact with the hot exhaust system - Risk of fire!
-
check that the depth of water does not exceed 10 cm, taking
account of waves that might be generated by other users,
-
drive as slowly as possible without stalling. In all cases, do not
exceed 6 mph (10 km/h),
-
do not stop and do not switch of
f the engine.
On
leaving the flooded road, as soon as circumstances allow, make
several light brake applications to dry the brake discs and pads.
If in doubt on the state of your vehicle, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a
qualified workshop.
